    It could be the people speaking it. When I hear brazilian speakers online (CSGO) I find the language horrid, but in song it’s quite pleasing. Also the different Latino accents are very different to Spanish ones, there’s even a great variation inside Spain. I think that northern Spanish accents are the best, also Colombian and Argentinian are quite nice.

    CSGO is basically a bunch of scandalous kids offending other people, obviously the sound won't be good.

    If you learn Russian you can interact with half of Eastern Europe.
    Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

    That's an easier on to stick with and a fine one to pick up. It's a shame it's barely spoken here, I think North Dakota still has a fair share of speakers still. Speaking German does feel like you're stepping back 1000 years in the past, but in good way. Truth be told it was the Danes and not the Francophone Normans that altered English's West Germanic sentence structure and with their settlement and their subsequent pidginization, English would also see their use of prefixes like "ge" being done away with, which is still found in Dutch and German. Not in Danish/Norwegian or Old Norse for that matter. After the Normans we'd lose more than prefixes, also compound words for some Greco-Latin decorum but the kinship is still there. Dutch is easier for Anglophones to understand in more ways but those throaty g's can be distracting.

    Upper middle-class Chileans sound lovely and borderline Castillian but there's this chunk that's screechy and whiney.

    French should be easy enough for any Hispanophone, their grammar's pretty much identical. Rioplatese Spanish sounds Italian and French influenced and you neighbor them so the way they speak will be a good point of reference.

    Best they don't butcher that. The Breton being revived sounds horrid and barely Welsh. More like Frogs speaking gibberish. Very few seem able to sing "breizh eo ma bro" or "toutouig" without sounding French for some reason. They're stuck with that accent.

    I’m learning Russian in my free time. It’s an interesting language to learn and I really enjoy it. Once you know Russian you’ll understand other slavic languages more easily. You’ll have to get used to the cyrillic alphabet first and the pronouncation of it because it’s obviously different from the latin alphabet

    Skype, other platforms? I am pretty sure that one could find willing people from Wales with some effort.

    Yeah, that cheeky accent is what we call Flaite. It’s comparable to african american but less aggravating. That video is shameful for most of us and really shows the difference in accent.
